1. ‘Entitled’ – Deregulation - Devolvement.

No matter which way you look at it, aviation has been badly served by the current government
guidelines for regulatory development. “The aviation industry has the overall responsibility for
maintenance of safe regular and efficient operations for aviation personnel training and for the
manufacture and maintenance of aircraft and aviation equipment.” ICAO Safety Oversight Manual.
An acceptable regulatory system should provide clarity that an individual or operator or organisation
is entitled to their authorisation if they meet the promulgated regulatory standards without the need
to ‘satisfy’ CASA.

2. Regulatory Impact Statement

One would think that creating jobs would be the major priority of every government post COVIG-19
and they would be taking actions that have held back growth. The core of the problem is that there has
never been a priority of governments to create jobs as the number one priority. They talk the talk but
don’t walk the walk. If they did they would make legislation to reduce paperwork, simplify government
forms, etc. The Government’s Guides for Better Regulation includes a check list that has to be addressed
but nowhere in the check list is the department/agency recommending changes to regulations. Do they
have to tell government how many jobs the change will create? Should not that be the number one
check needed? Jobs.
